For whom? Is this considered an irrelevant detail? The audio content of
these tests could reveal it, but no observations have been posted at
drmrx.org so far.

DRMNA reports good reception in North America. And the folks there haven't
been very active at drmrx in the past, too... For whom? Thats easy: TDPs
programming is a showcase for DRM (probably paid at energy cost level) and
